"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"I adore the NTA module that provides deep details on ingress/egress traffic for any interface. With a few clicks, you can correlate who is accessing what and when, beside the bandwidth consuming applications/users."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"SolarWinds SAM has provided us with dynamic thresholds based on historical trends and requirements. The threshold gets configured automatically, so it's no longer necessary to configure it manually every time."
"Solarwinds has an open database that allows you to do serious integrations. It doesn't matter which service desk you have, you can implement and integrate it with SolarWinds."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."

"The solution is considered expensive."
"The tool's AppStack needs to improve in the storage monitoring part. It should also include an analytics and recommendation approach. If I have found a fault in a server or application, I would like to know what caused it and how do I recover from it."
"The current script monitoring feature has limitations, especially when dealing with custom scripts."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."
"The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."
"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."
